The world knows nothing of its greatest men.

Philip van Artevelde (1834)

An unreflected light did never yet
Dazzle the vision feminine.

Philip van Artevelde (1834)

The Statesman (1836)

When you give, therefore, take to yourself no credit for generosity, unless you deny yourself something in order that you may give.
